L’OFFICIEL HOMMES: You’ve competed, modeled internationally, and built your own agency. Why take ownership of Mister Supranational USA?
JACK TITUS: Because I know what it feels like to stand onstage and wonder what happens next.
People see the photos, the lights, the attention. What they don’t see is how quickly everything can disappear once the competition ends. I’ve lived that. I’ve seen talented men walk away with a title, a sash, and absolutely no idea where to go from there.
I wanted to own Mister Supranational USA because I believe we can do better. If someone trusts us with his time, his money, and his dream, we owe him more than one night onstage.
L’OFFICIEL HOMMES: Was there a specific moment that made you realize you wanted to be on the ownership side?
JACK TITUS: Competing internationally changed something for me.
I was representing Thailand, but I was also looking at everything through a business lens. I kept thinking about the contestants around me and how much potential was in that room. Entrepreneurs, models, athletes, advocates. Men with real stories. And I thought, why does all of this have to end when the show ends?
That was the moment I realized I didn’t just want to be part of the system. I wanted the ability to change how it works.
L’OFFICIEL HOMMES: Why the United States?
JACK TITUS: Because the United States is home.
I was born in Thailand, but I built a life in America. For a long time, I felt caught between both worlds. In Thailand, sometimes I wasn’t Thai enough. In America, sometimes I wasn’t American enough.
Eventually, I stopped trying to choose. Both countries shaped me.
Owning Mister Supranational USA feels personal because I understand what it means to come to America with a dream and have to prove yourself. I want this platform to reflect the actual America I know: different backgrounds, different journeys, different definitions of success.
L’OFFICIEL HOMMES: What do you think men’s pageants often get wrong?
JACK TITUS: Sometimes they focus so much on the image that they forget the person.
Yes, appearance matters. This is an industry connected to fashion, media, and entertainment. I’m not going to pretend otherwise. But a good-looking guy who can’t communicate, can’t show up professionally, and doesn’t know what he stands for isn’t ready for an international platform.
I’m interested in the full picture. Can he hold a conversation? Can he represent a brand? Does he have discipline? Does he treat people well? Does he have something to say when nobody hands him a script?
That matters more to me than a perfect photo.
L’OFFICIEL HOMMES: How will Mister Supranational USA feel different under your ownership?
JACK TITUS: It will feel closer to the real industry.
I work in modeling, fashion, and talent development. I understand what agencies look for, what clients expect, and how quickly this business moves. I want contestants to experience that reality.
That means professional exposure, connections, media opportunities, and preparation that actually helps them beyond the competition.
Winning should open doors. But even if you don’t win, you should leave better prepared than when you arrived.
L’OFFICIEL HOMMES: You’ve chosen Las Vegas as the host city. What makes it the right setting?
JACK TITUS: Las Vegas is where I built myself.
People know the city for entertainment, nightlife, and big productions. But for me, it’s also a place where people come to start over. It’s a city full of people trying to create something bigger for themselves.
That energy fits what I want Mister Supranational USA to become.
And honestly, if you’re going to introduce a new era, Las Vegas knows how to make an entrance.
L’OFFICIEL HOMMES: What kind of man are you hoping to discover?
JACK TITUS: Someone who doesn’t need to pretend.
I’m not looking for a rehearsed answer or a guy who thinks being impressive means talking the loudest. I’m looking for someone who knows his strengths, understands his weaknesses, and is willing to grow.
He might be a model, a firefighter, a student, a businessman, or someone who has never entered a competition in his life. I care less about where he starts and more about what he’s willing to do with the opportunity.
Confidence is important. Character lasts longer.
L’OFFICIEL HOMMES: Does a contestant need modeling experience to be considered?
JACK TITUS: Not necessarily. Experience helps, but it’s not everything.
You can teach someone how to walk, how to pose, how to handle an interview. What’s harder to teach is discipline, curiosity, and respect for other people.
I’ve met men with perfect portfolios who weren’t ready for the business, and I’ve met complete newcomers who walked into a room and immediately made you pay attention.
Sometimes potential shows up before the résumé does.
L’OFFICIEL HOMMES: You already work internationally through TITUS MODEL. How does that influence your vision?
JACK TITUS: It means I’m not thinking only about the final show.
When I meet someone with potential, I’m already asking what comes next. Could he work in New York? Could he shoot an editorial in Europe? Could he represent a brand or develop a career beyond pageantry?
Through TITUS MODEL, I’ve seen how the right introduction can change someone’s direction. I want to bring that same thinking into Mister Supranational USA.
The title matters, of course. But the person wearing it needs a future after the photos are posted.
L’OFFICIEL HOMMES: You also have strong ties to Thailand. Will there be a connection between your work in both countries?
JACK TITUS: Absolutely, because my life has never existed in just one place.
Thailand gave me my roots. America gave me room to build. I don’t see why I should separate those parts of my story when they can create opportunities for other people.
There’s so much talent in both countries. If we can connect those networks through fashion, media, competitions, and international projects, everybody benefits.
I’m not interested in building walls between markets. I’d rather introduce people who should have met years ago.
L’OFFICIEL HOMMES: Taking ownership of a national competition comes with pressure. Does that concern you?
JACK TITUS: Of course. Anyone who says otherwise probably hasn’t done it before.
There are expectations, financial responsibilities, and people trusting you to deliver what you promised. I don’t take that lightly.
But pressure isn’t new to me. I’ve had to rebuild, take risks, and make decisions without knowing exactly how things would turn out.
I’d rather take responsibility for something I believe in than sit back and complain about how someone else is running it.
L’OFFICIEL HOMMES: What do you say to people who still dismiss male pageants?
JACK TITUS: I understand why some people are skeptical. Sometimes the industry gives them reasons to be.
But a competition can be whatever you choose to make it. It can be superficial, or it can create real opportunities. It can reward empty confidence, or it can introduce people with something meaningful to offer.
For me, the answer isn’t to defend pageantry with big speeches. It’s to build something people can look at and say, “Okay, I get it now.”
L’OFFICIEL HOMMES: What will success look like for your first year?
JACK TITUS: A strong representative is important, obviously. I want someone who can walk onto the international stage and make the United States proud.
But I’ll also be looking at what happens to everyone else.
Did they make useful connections? Did they learn something? Did they leave with more confidence, more direction, or an opportunity they didn’t have before?
If the answer is yes, then we did our job.
I don’t want people to remember only who won. I want them to remember what the experience made possible.
L’OFFICIEL HOMMES: Finally, what would you say to the man reading this who is thinking about applying?
JACK TITUS: Don’t wait until you think you’re perfect.
I’ve never felt completely ready for any of the things that changed my life. I just reached a point where I knew staying still would cost me more than taking the risk.
If you have something to say, something to build, or simply a feeling that you’re meant for more, take the chance.
You never know what one decision can lead to.
I didn’t. And now I own the pageant.
